Blighttown

This section deals with everyone's favorite area: Blighttown.

Blighttown is a location in Dark Souls. Blighttown is a rather lengthy area that can be accessed through either the Depths or the Valley of Drakes. The upper parts consist of interconnecting bridges and scaffolding. The bottom portion of the area is a poisonous swamp. Many enemies in the area can inflict a Poison of their own, while Blowdart Snipers are able to deal Toxic from a great distance. Blighttown can be accessed from the Depths by way of a gate that is opened by the Blighttown Key , or through a cave at one end of Valley of Drakes. There are two bonfires in this area.

The enemies are equal parts dangerous, aggressive, and annoying. But Blighttown is deceptive. Because of how challenging it is, it feels both more important and more complicated than it is. Blighttown exists to give you items and to convey you to the next Bell of Awakening. There is a path that leads through a lot of twists and turns from the first bonfire to the second and, from there, straight to Quelaag and the second bell. Everything else — every other branch and side path — is there to give you an item. Once you have those items, you can ignore those paths and move on. The bonfire among the upper walkways is shortly after entrance from The Depths. Between the entrance and the bonfire, you can grab both the Shadow Armor set — a lightweight armor with better than average poison resistance — and an Iaito — a katana with a sweeping swing that deals bleed damage. Nearby, you can also pick up the Eagle Shield — a very stable and lightweight great shield — and some Blooming Purple Moss Clumps.

However, as the player progresses through Anor Londo, they come to find that the city is just as hostile and unforgiving as any other location in Dark Souls. That being said, the most interesting aspect of Anor Londo is the story implications a player can derive. The Dark Souls series is known for providing little-to-no story details directly, instead making the player rely on indirect storytelling shown by the world and its inhabitants. Anor Londo shows itself as a city in eternal sunlight, however, upon investigating further into Anor Londo, the player learns that the city - like its ruler - holds many dark secrets. The story of Anor Londo begins with Gwyn and his desire to rule over Lordran. After discovering a Lord Soul and recruiting other beings who possessed Lord Souls, Gwyn challenged the Everlasting Dragons who ruled over the land, and was able to defeat them due to his ability to manipulate lightning. Once the dragons were defeated, Gwyn began the Age of Fire and took his place as ruler of Lordran, establishing Anor Londo as a capital city and the residence for his family. As rulers of the land, Gwyn and his offspring became known as Gods and were worshipped as such in Anor Londo. To prevent any human interference, Gwyn recruited his knights to patrol the halls of the city and protect the treasures there.

Through this door, you'll find a staircase that leads down to New Londo Ruins which can then take you back to Firelink Shrine to rest at a bonfire before you explore the rest of the Valley , should you so wish. Note: If you go the other direction on this side of the bridge and continue until the ledge ends you'll be able to find the Witch Set and Beatrice's Catalyst - although they will only be present here if you beat the Four Kings in The Abyss.
